    Verdict

    After finishing placed on his first four starts over timber, FLINTY BAY finally got his head in front when beating Proud Times at Ayr last month. Nicky Richards looks to have found him a good opportunity to follow-up here with the biggest threat likely to come from Irish raider Vivaldi. The latter finished a respectable third at Leopardstown last time and should make another bold bid. All-weather winner Tower makes his hurdling debut and won't have to be anything special to get the better of the likes of Endeavor and Kensix Star.
